Officially: Australia, New Zealand, and the USA

Yes. Servers have been fucking up forever. If you have an issue, it's likely a server issue or a bug not unique to you.
>When will the game be released in my country?
What are we, from the future? We don't know.
>It says that the app is incompatible with my devices! What gives?

ToTT: Have you traveled to another town/city to play Pokemon GO? What's the furthest you've traveled?

First for infected APKs
>Have you traveled to another town/city to play Pokemon GO? What's the furthest you've traveled?
Took a 20 minute drive on the freeway over to a friend's area to hunt pokemon with them. I'd like to take a beach trip soon, so I'm looking at, at least an hour to 1.5 hours drive?
Also friend took this picture the other day.
Should Pokemon stay out of cemeteries?
Your thread shouldn't stay out of the general
>disrespectful to the dead
There is literally nothing disrespectful to the dead.
They're fucking dead. They can't be disrespected.

Shit, you're right, I posted without thinking.
I thought myself better than this
apologies.
Where are the Mega Evolutions?
Mega Evolutions were pretty huge in marketing XY and ORAS, but we haven't seen ANYTHING in regards to Megas in Sun/Moon.
What do you think? Do you think they're waiting to reveal a new mechanic like the rumored Synchro stuff? A significant nerf to Mega Evolutions judging from how much Megas like Mega Kangaskhan dominated VGC? Retconning Megas entirely?I would love for Megas to be retconned but we all know that'll never happen.
Megas weren't announced for X&Y until the august issue of corocoro, and we'd already been getting a steady stream of information since the games were announced in January. We've been getting information on Sun and Moon for about two months now, so I'd say to expect information on new megas a little bit down the line.
>>27114722
Hm, I must have been remembering wrong. Thought Megas were announced earlier.
Still, it's no longer a new mechanic so I'd think it's a little different.
>>27114722
Right, but that was a new feature. They started getting shown off earlier for ORAS if I remember correctly, especially since we already knew about megas.
I guess they've been showing us new Pokemon instead of megas, but if there are still megas of old Pokemon, why wouldn't they throw one in the mix every now and then?
I'm personally skeptical about the return of megas. On the one hand, it makes no sense to get rid of them, but on the other hand, there's no confirmation of them in any way yet, except for the bracelets that don't really look like keystones.
Is this what 1996 was like?
Everyone has Pokemon Go. Adults and kids alike are going outside and asking people they dont know about pokemon locations. My local pizza shop offers discounts to people on Team Valor. Friends are going in groups hunting pokemon on my college campus.
Pokemon is making news headlines again, but not just for new game releases. Its something everyone is doing and the adoption is so big that there are PSAs on how to be safe when going outside. Even the police are going to pokestops and lures to catch pokemon.
PoGo made Pokemon Great Again
No.
It was pretty much entirely restricted to the kids
>>27114553
>Is this what 1996 was like?
Nah. It was only out in Japan in '96. The games came out in the US in about '97, I believe, but I don't think PokeMania really hit until '98.
Trust me. It was much, much worse in '98.
>>27114553
And once again it's because of gen 1. Hmm, makes you think...

>tfw when you see another GO thread
How did Pokémon GO go from no one caring about it during E3 to exploding in popularity?
>>27114408
Normies don't care about E3.
>>27114431
Yeah, the standard gamer crowd aren't the ones exploding the popularity of Pokemon Go.
>>27114408
Literally just: normies.
Pic related. If you don't want that level of challenge, Red++ is pretty cool. Something challenging, not as hard as the Kaizos, is Rutile Ruby/Star Sapphire, meant as something easier to prepare for for competitive and get items easier.
>>27114371
I'm actually about to do a run of every Pokemon "generation". Or, I guess you could call it that. With each game, I'll transfer my Pokemon over, to continue
I'm probably going to do them in this order:
Blue>Silver>Ruby>FireRed>Emarald>Pearl>Platinum>HeartGold>White (I don't think I can emulate X or Y. I don't know if I can emulate 3ds on my PC.)
>>27114543
Don't you own a 3DS anon?also what does that have to do with this thread?
>>27114371
Drayano's hacks are great. SacredGold, VoltWhite and BlazeBlack. Absolutely loved them.
You guys enjoying pokemon go? Of course you are literally everyone loves it. The game is perfect. It's getting NEETS, and people out of shape to exercise. X celebrity is playing and loves it, so you should play it too!!! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and download it! ITS FREE.
oh fuck the pokemon company knows what youtube videos i watch
and now the goverment is gonna know the floor plan of my house.
tell me why the nsa would create a pokemon app to find the floor plans of houses when blueprints are publicly accessible documents already.
>>27114297
The NSA wouldn't but google would and then sell it to the NSA because why not?
The NSA will buy it for the same reason.
Why not?
>>27114256
>walking
>exercise
None of you are tough with your Pokemon. You're all pathetic.
shouldn't you be fucking dawn
>Pokemon gets Levitate for its ability
>Never ever gets a 2nd or hidden ability
Why is it like that?
>>27114106
You cannot replace levitate because the Pokémon wouldn't make sense
in most cases, it's like it makes sense for it to have levitate but it doesn't make sense for it not to have levitate in any case
imagine hitting latios with earthquake.
like, ever.
>>27114106
What is bronzong?
What's that one pokemon you didn't care about until you used it and it became an instant bro?
Picked him in Gale of Darkness and he shit down everything's throat with how strong he was.
On a similar note to you, OP, I used an Umbreon in W2 solely because of the novelty of being able to catch an eevee in the wild. I never had a lot of love for the eeveelutions before but Umbreon definitely won me over, surprisingly tanky for a Dark type. It was pretty much the MVP of that party
I thought Glaceon was a frail one and only used her for the type expert tournaments in BW2, boy was I wrong, she swept all teams with Blizzard. She's a sis now and part of the team. Same with Frosslass too. She knocks out all with her Ice punch. I wish I could find a physical ghost move for her though
>>27114084
When I discovered batton pass teams I had an Espeon in my team. It was the ultimate weapon when the set up was done. I won so much battles I fell in love with it and all the shitmons of my team. Like Ninjask, Venomoth and Mr.Mime.
We all agree this "game" is terrible, right?
im terrible
>>27114041
Clearly not.

>game
more like SHAME amirite?
How do I into pokémon?
I've been lurking for quite a while and want to get involved again.
>Pokémon GO!!!!!111!!!One!!
Pls no
I've played Pokémon red and fire red so Gen 1 was enjoyable but when I tried Gen 2 a couple of years ago I hated it. My questions are:
>Should I just jump into Gen 3 and work my way up?
Or
>Should I go for the latest Gen and work down
>Are ROMs any good and should I play them.
Also for now I'm into the normal games that came out as part of the series, so I don't feel like the obscure spin-offs would be particularly helpful.
Thanks anons x
>>27113997
XY is boring as fuck but it's easy enough for starters/people coming back. After that, I recommend playing Platinum, HGSS, BW and/or BW2. Those games are the absolute pinnacle of the franchise, and they're significantly longer, harder and better.
>>27113997
I suggest grabbing Black or White. It's only the ones from that gen, and if you like it, then it'll be a good way to introduce you to everything. Also, it's the best gen imo.
>>27114089
They're significantly longer, harder and better.
There's a joke in there somewhere.
Thanks a lot anon, sorry for the obvious ignorance but also
>What are shinies?
>what's a mega evolution?
And at what gen do they come to be?
So, uhm... Anyone else thinks that Chesnaught is super hot?
Do you have any weird attraction to a specific Pokémon?
haha
>>27113946
>Anyone else thinks that Chesnaught is super hot?
Gay.
My bromance for Chesnaught is purely platonic.
>>27113946
I'd fuck the shit out of ChesKNOT lol
>All these people that are complaining that Pokemon is popular
>mfw most of them don't even remember Pokemania
>>27113907
Who the fuck is complaining about pokemon being popular? People are complaining about the fags who are playing GO even though they dropped the series at the start of gen 3 or never played in the first place and they're bitching about GOfags making new threads each time one of the special snowflakes gets something in the game or joins one of the teams instead of sticking to the general or one of the umpteen threads that already exist for it.
>>27113907
Pokemania was cool though because everyone was a kid having fun. Now it's a bunch of 20-something genwunners whining about there being more than 151 pokemon.
>>27113907
>Pokémonia
What's that?
